The Digest

A roundabout at 116th/Olio ⭕️ 

Two big projects were given millions in funding from the IMPO last week:

• A pedestrian bridge for the Nickel Plate Trail over Keystone Avenue at 49th Street

• A roundabout at 116th/Olio Road

Why do they want to build a roundabout at 116th/Olio? Safety. It might help with traffic too. The roundabout will have two lanes on each side, with three going north from the south.

Both of these projects have deadlines to be done by 2027. Which feels far away, but I’m sure it will be here before we know it. Here are the original recommendations.

2024 Tenderloin Tuesday is coming soon

It’s been a while since I had to dust off the ‘ol Tenderloin Signal.

Hamilton County’s 15th Annual Tenderloin Tuesdays are back from June 25th to July 30th. Every Tuesday, tenderloin sandwiches you order at the below restaurants will go towards your points to earning a free Tenderloin Tuesday shirt 😂 

• CR Heroes

• FoxGardin Family Kitchen

• Murphy’s Pubhouse

• Pinheads

• Big Lug on the Prairie

• Sahm’s Restaurant

• The Roost

• Parks Place Pub

• Four Day Ray

• 101 Beer Kitchen

• King Jugg Brewing

• Bubba’s 33

FYI: A few friends and I completed this county tour last year and did not receive the shirt. Our guess is we did it too quickly and were tagged as cheating 🤣 So be chill and do it over the course of the month!

A message from Jay*

You know when you go to a sporting event and there are sponsors giving out tiny keychains for spinning a wheel and filling out a form? Those are fun. But what about the wheel above? If you had a chance to spin this wheel, would you?

If your answer is yes, let me introduce you to the Million Dollar Miner. Jay coined this phrase based on his bet he makes with you - he can find 1 million in inefficiencies in your financial plan. 

For my 55+ readers, Jay is offering Fishers Digest readers a chance to spin that wheel. You can book a meeting with Jay here and learn more.
